We had four maned wolf pups born at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in December! The two male and two female pups had their first veterinary exam Feb. 6, and they all received a clean bill of health. Veterinarians gave them a full health exam, listening to their hearts and lungs, checking their eyes and palpating their abdomens. The pups also received their first round of vaccines, preventive de-wormers and transponder chips (much like domestic dogs and cats receive them). Although the transponder chips help identify the pups, they are placed just under their skin and can only be read by a chip reader. So, veterinarians also shaved different spots on the pups to help keepers more easily identify them without having to handle them. The pups are still a dark brown color. They will grow into their rusty golden coats and long black legs as they get older. Veterinarians and keepers will continue to monitor the pups closely over the next several months. #WeSaveSpecies
